My name is Rhonda Loveless and I am the Paine North Counselor. This is my first year at Paine Elementary but my 23rd year in education. I have been a teacher in Pre-K, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th grades. I have been a counselor in elementary, middle school and high school. I completed 5 years as a middle school principal and one year as an elementary principal. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, a Master’s degree in Counseling, an Educational Specialist degree in Counseling and also in Educational Leadership. I attended college at Southern Union State Community College where I received my Associates degree, University of West Georgia for my Master’s degree, Jacksonville State University for my Educational Specialist in Counseling and another in Educational Leadership and Administration, and have been working on my doctoral degree in administration through Walden University.

I have been married for a long time and have two grown children. I also have two absolutely perfect granddaughters. Kaycee is 16 and a junior at Woodland High School. She is a sports fanatic and loves to play basketball and volleyball. Libby has recently turned 10 and loves dance, ballet and gymnastics. They each attend Liberty Grove Methodist Church and are in the church drama club. As you can see I am a very proud grandmother. I love children in general. My goal is to be an advocate for the students while being support for the teachers, parents, and administration. I am looking forward to many wonderful memories at Paine Elementary School and getting to know the families of PES.

Remember, if you call me it may take a while before I return your call. E-mail works more effectively for me. I will be with the students in classes or attending to their needs. Thank you in advance for your patience.
